Karisma Consulting

Karisma Consulting has a big announcement to share...

We are hiring a new team member, Lindsay Terry, who will serve as Executive Assistant, using her gifts, talents, and experience to support the growth and expansion of Karisma Consulting. I'm thrilled to have Lindsay on our team as she brings a spirit of excellence, creativity, and light in everything she does.

Karisma Consulting will also partner with her business, Divinely Inspired Photography, LLC., in various ways throughout the year - keep a lookout for this information as we get further into the summer.

With over 14 years of professional experience behind the lens, Lindsay Terry serves as the owner and principal Photographer for Divinely Inspired Photography. Her creative vision is deeply intertwined with her heart for the community; alongside her photography, she brings her warmth and patience to the classroom as a Mother’s Day Out teacher.

At the core of everything Lindsay does is a profound passion to see individuals flourish and families experience true wholeness. Whether she is capturing a fleeting, beautiful moment between generations or nurturing a child's early growth, her mission remains the same: to celebrate life and foster connection. Lindsay lives in Arkansas, where her greatest joy and inspiration come from her husband and their four daughters.

Have you ever wanted a deeper understanding of your personality, communication style, strengths, and how you naturally show up in both your personal and professional relationships?

What if you could also gain practical tools to communicate more effectively with others, navigate differences with confidence, strengthen teamwork, and build healthier connections?

I’m exploring the idea of offering Real Colors training for individuals! This is not my typical business model, but I felt led to offer in the summer, as schedules can be more flexible for some to do this type of thing. :)

Typically, I provide Real Colors training for organizations, leadership teams, schools, nonprofits, and businesses. However, I know many professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, educators, and individuals may not have access to this type of personal and professional development through their workplaces — and I would love to create an opportunity for you to experience its value firsthand.

Why professionals love Real Colors:
• Gain greater self-awareness and confidence
• Improve communication and relationship-building skills
• Learn how to better navigate conflict and misunderstandings
• Strengthen leadership and teamwork abilities
• Better understand the personalities and motivations of others
• Discover practical strategies you can apply immediately in work, family, and everyday interactions.

This training is interactive, engaging, insightful, and full of “aha” moments that often create lasting impact both personally and professionally.
If there is enough local interest, I will offer an in-person training in Little Rock. If interest comes from multiple locations, I can also offer a virtual experience. There is flexibility!

Cost: $75 per person
This is a discounted rate to reduce barriers to having an incredible learning experience. If applied, I guarantee that it will transform your personal and professional relationships!

Includes:
• Official Real Colors assessment
• Training materials/resources
• Interactive training session (approximately 3.5 hours maximum)

To move forward, I would like a minimum of:
• 10 participants for an in-person Little Rock session
• 10 participants for a virtual session

One of the most valuable parts of Real Colors is learning alongside a diverse group of personality styles and perspectives, which creates rich discussion and meaningful insight.

If you are interested, comment below or send me a message so I can begin planning dates and formats!

If you are interested in this unique opportunity, tag a friend in the comments who you want to have this experience with this summer!

Honored to serve the Executive Leadership Team and Program Directors at Achieve Community Alliance with their quarterly Leadership Retreat this month!

Exploring Emotional Intelligence as it relates to leadership, communication, and working through conflict in a healthy way - while applying our knowledge of Real Colors. A beautiful time of growing in understanding ourselves in a deeper way, and also understanding one another while gaining practical tools to communicate through difficult situations with peers and those we are leading. There were so many "aha" moments throughout the day!

The afternoon was spent on reviewing their Strategic Plan and individual Department Program Plans, which complement the overall strategy. Each Department spent time creating SMART Goals and Objectives for the new year. What a lovely journey this team has been on! I'm so proud of them and truly enjoy walking with them through this process. Dedicated, compassionate, and serving with excellence - I appreciate each one of these leaders.

Central AR Friends,

You are invited to the City Connections, Inc. Luncheon next Thursday, May 14th! RSVP by emailing City Connections. Looking forward to this special time together. So proud of my friend - LaShanna Bruce, who will be sharing about her new nonprofit organization - F.A.I.T.H.! There will also be other organizations presenting about the good work they are doing in the community.

Let me know in the comments if you will be attending. :)

Did you know 72% of graduates feel only moderately, slightly, or not at all prepared for life after high school? This concerns me.

Many of you are serving youth in a variety of ways through your organizations, and I am so thankful for the good work you do! Some of you have youth and young adult programs that will kick off in the next few weeks as summer begins. Are you incorporating life skills into your programming?

Something I created to provide support for organizations serving youth and young adults, which I have decided to no longer keep to myself. Organizations can contract directly with Karisma Consulting for these services, but a more effective investment is to send a loyal, teachable staff member to receive training to become a Certified Instructor with the Strategies to Thrive Life Skills System! This system includes 11 Life Skills Workshops that can be taught in one-on-one, small-group, and large-group settings within your organization by your Certified STT Instructor! These workshops can be taught daily. You only pay once and purchase workbooks for each participant to document their journey and action plan in each topic area. Strategies to Thrive Life Skills System Workshop Topics are posted below.

The STT Life Skills System is also for those who are rebuilding their life after a crisis - Recovery, Justice Impacted, Domestic Violence Overcomers, and others looking to rebuild their life.

The next Strategies to Thrive Instructor Certification is May 12-13, 2026, in Little Rock, AR. We still have a few slots remaining. Reach out if you are interested in learning more!

On May 1st, Karisma Consulting hosted The Orchard Ministry Training Leadership Retreat, Cohort 2, in Little Rock. Wow, wow, wow! God showed up in our cozy group as each one arrived with a willing heart and faith to encounter Him. He brought revelation, refreshment, rejuvenation, prophetic insight, clues for our treasure hunt (evangelism), compassionate intercession, words of knowledge, healing, and more! He is so good!

I'm undone! I'm so thankful! This was a full-circle moment, as this has been in my heart for over 8 years. Dreams fulfilled and better than I could ever imagine.

If you want to learn more about these quarterly ministry training cohorts, reach out! I already have the next one scheduled for July 22nd. The wait list is long. Reach out if you want to be on this list to learn about upcoming events like this and be the first to register before it's posted on social media.

Thank you Lord!!

PS If you are in the Twin Cities area and interested in hosting one of these ministry training day retreats, let's connect! Looking for groups of less than 20.

Karisma Consulting was honored to facilitate this session with the Arkansas Community Action Agencies Association - ACAAA (ACAAA) team members last week. What a fantastic group of servant-hearted leaders throughout the state, empowering individuals and families!

One thing we talked about was looking for the "glimmers" in our daily lives to help regulate our nervous system. Those moments that bring joy, peace, love, and safety. These moments can be recalled later through our powerful imagination, recreated in our minds. It is a way to be on the lookout for the sweet moments in life and be intentional in remembering them.

I first heard the concept of a "glimmer" (the opposite of a trigger) from a podcast by Dr. Caroline Leaf. Link in the comments.

🧠✨ Wellness Wednesday: Investing in Your Mental & Emotional Wellness ✨🧠

Leaders carry a lot—and too often, mental and emotional wellness takes a back seat to the demands of the day. That’s why we invite you to join us for this upcoming Virtual Wellness Wednesday Workshop designed specifically with leadership in mind.

📅 April 29, 2026 (TOMORROW!)
⏰ 10:00–11:00 AM (Virtual)

This session will focus on strengthening mental clarity, emotional resilience, and decision-making capacity in high-pressure environments. Participants will gain insight into how stress, fatigue, and emotional load can impact leadership effectiveness—and more importantly, how to manage it.

Through guided reflection and practical strategies, you’ll learn how to:
✔️ Recognize early signs of stress and burnout
✔️ Regulate emotions in challenging situations
✔️ Reduce mental overload and improve focus
✔️ Build a realistic, personalized wellness plan that fits your leadership role

If you’re navigating constant decision-making, managing teams, or simply looking to show up stronger and more centered in your work—this session is for you.

📩 Email us at [email protected] to receive your access link

Take this hour to invest in yourself—because strong leaders start with strong wellness. We hope to see you there!

The process of building, creating, developing, and writing is not always smooth, easy, or fun. However, I believe it is always worth it!
When you have something God has placed within you... don't hold back. Don't get lazy. Don't waste it! Even if you feel like you are late in your journey, keep going! Keep moving forward with Him! Keep saying, "yes" to Him. He is worth it, always.

There will be setbacks, distractions, and lies of the enemy. There will be those who don't understand or support. You may feel invisible at times. It's okay, just as the thing we are developing is in process, so are we. Ugh, I know, it can be so frustrating and aggravating, we just want to get there. There is something really special that happens in those in-between moments of when we have the vision and when we see the vision come to reality. It's in those moments where we get super refined and rely on Him as our source. We get humble. We get hungry for more of Him. We get tested. We get the opportunity to grow.

As frustrating as it can be, I want all that stuff in just listed. I want all that and more. I want to be made more like Him.
So, to all of you dreamers, visionaries, and creatives... keep going! It's all worth it and part of our journey. You will look back and know it was all a part of your journey.
Then, just when you think you are good, get ready for your next round of refinement.

If you are in the process of building or creating something new, put a favorite scripture or quote in the comments. Let's support each other!

Do you work with a faith-based organization or ministry in Central AR?

I have a resource that was designed with you in mind!

This coming Friday, on May Day, I will be hosting The Orchard Ministry Training in Little Rock from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm in Little Rock.

This is an intimate, leadership-retreat-style training for those interested in gaining additional tools for evangelism, discipleship, and living a life of surrender to Jesus while pouring out to others. This training is special to my heart as it has been brewing inside of me for years. A space for us to grow together and encounter God together.

If you want to grow with other believers in living rooted in the Word and flourishing in the Spirit, this space is for you!

If you are hungry for more of God, this space is for you!

If you want a safe space to encounter more of God, this space is for you!

If you desire to continue growing in your relationship with Jesus, this space is for you!

If you want additional tools for ministry, this space is for you!

There is limited space in each of these cohorts to keep these groups cozy and comfy. I only have about three spots left for this cohort. If you would like to learn more, register for this training, or be placed on the wait list for the summer training, reach out to me!

We will explore the following topics: identity in Christ, forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, growing your intimate relationship with Christ, life in the Kingdom, faith over fear, prophetic encouragement, healing, words of knowledge, Spirit-led evangelism with the Word, and disciple-making.


Reviews:
The Orchard is a foundational learning tool for putting the Word into practice. Heather has done groundbreaking work to produce something practical for individual and small group use. The Orchard curriculum provides an entry point to the same experiences and content offered by large mission organizations, but at a much lower cost. She’s done an exceptional job combining teaching and application, demonstrating what the fruit of true discipleship looks like.
-Julia, Missionary in Rwanda, Africa

The Orchard has been a tremendous blessing in my life. Each session helped me discover spiritual depths I didn't realize were there. God used every session to show His love for everyone involved. We were all both receivers and givers, receiving a word from God and giving to one another. God truly spoke through us to each other. I was able to exercise dormant gifts, and through laughter, tears, and everything in between, we gave all the glory to God! I left each session feeling renewed and closer to God.
-Nikki, Arkansas

The training is a gift - no cost except the cost for The Orchard book - discounted at $20!

Are you ready to go deeper with God? Are you ready to walk in a greater revelation of your identity and authority in Christ? Me too! Join us!

Excited for your book launch, Bethany Wallace!

Thank you for inviting me to contribute to this special project. I'm truly honored. This book includes stories from 20 women about how they have encountered God in their life journeys. I just purchased on Amazon and look forward to reading all of these delightful and inspiring stories of God moving in each life through specific moments/people/situations.

I will put the link in the comments if you would like to learn more about this unique book!
